INSTRUCTIONS TO TENDERERS

1. General

1.1. Scope

The Invitation to Tender (ITT) is for the <Supply of insert description> for the <insert

Ministry/ agency>. Tenderers must comply fully with the requirements set out in this

document. All tenders are to be completed and returned to the Purchaser in accordance

with these Instructions.

1.2. Source of Funds

Funding for this tender will be made available from the SINU Capital Budget.

1.3. Eligibility

Participation in this tender process is open to all interested and eligible Tenderers.

1.4. Restrictions to Eligibility

Organisations or individuals who are prohibited from participation by any act taken in

compliance with a decision of the UN Security Council, or those blacklisted by a

“watchdog” committee of the Solomon Islands Government, or any international

development agency will not be considered.

1.5 Cost of Bidding

The Tenderer shall bear all costs associated with the preparation and submission of its

tender, and the Purchaser shall not be responsible or liable for these costs, regardless of

the conduct or outcome of the tender process.

1.6. Conflict of Interest

A Conflict of Interest arises from any event influencing the capacity of a Tenderer from

performing in an objective and impartial professional manner, or preventing him, at any

moment, from giving priority to the interests of the Purchaser.

A Conflict of Interest also arises from any consideration relating to possible contracts

in the future or conflict with other commitments, past, present, of a Tenderer, or any

conflict with his own interests. These restrictions also apply to sub-Tenderers and

employees of the Tenderer.

There is a conflict of interest if the Tenderer is compromised for reasons involving

family, emotional life, political or national affinity, economic interest or any other

shared interest with the beneficiary.

1.7 Ethics

It is a requirement that both the Purchaser and Tenderer observe the highest standards

of ethics during the procurement and execution of contracts.

In pursuance of this policy, the Purchaser requires that all Tenderers concerned take

measures to ensure that no transfer of gifts, payments or other benefits to SINU

officials and/or procurement/ management staff with decision making responsibility or

influence, occur.

The Purchaser reserves the right to suspend or cancel a tender if corrupt practices of

any kind are discovered at any stage of the award process. For the purpose of this

provision, the terms set forth below shall have the following meaning:

"corrupt practice" means the offering, giving, receiving or soliciting of anything of

value to influence the action of any staff involved in the procurement of goods and/or

services, or the threatening of injury to a person, property or reputation in connection

Page 7: INVITATION TO TENDERInvitation to Tender. 2.3 Amendment of Tender Documents At any time prior to the deadline for submission of tenders, the Purchaser, for any reason, whether at its

SECTION II – INSTRUCTIONS TO TENDERERS

5

with the procurement process or in contract execution, in order to obtain or retain

business or other improper advantage in the conduct of business;

"fraudulent practice" means a misrepresentation of facts in order to influence a

procurement process or the execution of a contract to the detriment of the SIG, and

includes collusive practices among Tenderers (prior to or after submission of tenders)

designed to establish prices at artificial, non-competitive levels and to deprive the

Purchaser of the benefits of free and open competition.

Any attempt by a Tenderer to obtain confidential information, enter into unlawful

agreements with competitors or influence the committee or the Purchaser during the

process of examining, clarifying, evaluating and comparing tenders will lead to the

rejection of his candidacy or tender and may result in administrative penalties (e.g.

suspension from future tender procedures).

Any Tenderer who attempts to influence the outcome of the selection process by

discrediting competing applications, or by threatening any member sitting on the

selection panel, the Purchaser or any of its staff, or transfers gifts, payments or other

benefits to the Purchaser, any staff member, or any member sitting on the evaluation

panel, will be automatically disqualified from consideration.

The Tenderer shall refrain from any relationship likely to compromise his

independence or that of his staff. If the Tenderer ceases to be independent, the

Purchaser may, regardless of injury, terminate the contract without further notice and

without the Tenderer having any claim to compensation.

may, at its discretion, ask any Tenderer for clarification of its Tender, including

Page 11: INVITATION TO TENDERInvitation to Tender. 2.3 Amendment of Tender Documents At any time prior to the deadline for submission of tenders, the Purchaser, for any reason, whether at its

SECTION II – INSTRUCTIONS TO TENDERERS

breakdowns of unit rates. The request for clarification and the response shall be in

writing and no change in the price or substance of the Tender shall be sought, offered

or permitted, except as required to confirm the correction of arithmetic errors

discovered by the Purchaser in the evaluation of the Tenders.

5.4 Examination of Tenders and Determination of Responsiveness

The Purchaser will determine whether each Tender:

a. meets the eligibility criteria defined at ITT Clause 5.5 (Omit if criteria are not

used);

b. has been properly signed;

c. is accompanied by the required securities;

d. is substantially responsive to the requirements of the Tender documents.

Arithmetical errors will be rectified on the following basis:

i. If there is a discrepancy between the unit price and the total price that is

obtained by multiplying the unit price and quantity, the unit price shall prevail

and the total price shall be corrected. If the Tenderer does not accept the

correction of the errors, its Tender will be rejected,

ii. If there is a discrepancy between words and figures, the amount in words will

prevail.

Prior to the detailed evaluation, the Purchaser will determine the substantial

responsiveness of each Tender to the Tender Documents. For purposes of these clauses,

a substantially responsive Tender is one, which conforms to all the terms and

conditions of the Tender Documents without material deviations. The Purchaser’s

determination of a Tenderer’s responsiveness is to be based on the contents of the

Tender itself without recourse to extrinsic evidence. A material deviation or reservation

is one:

a. which affects in any substantial way the Scope, Quality, or Performance of the

Contract;

b. which limits in any substantial way, inconsistent with the Tender documents,

the Purchaser’s rights or the Tenderer’s obligations under the contract; or

c. whose rectification would affect unfairly the competitive position of other

Tenderers presenting substantially responsive Tenders.

A Tender determined as not substantially responsive will be rejected by the Purchaser

and may not subsequently be made responsive by the Tenderer by correction or

withdrawal of nonconforming deviation or reservation.

The Purchaser may waive any minor informality or nonconformity or irregularity in a

Tender which does not constitute a material deviation, provided such waiver does not

prejudice or affect the relative ranking of any Tender.

5.5 Evaluation and Comparison of Tenders

The Purchaser will evaluate and compare only the Tenders determined to be

substantially responsive in accordance with Clause 5.4.

The Purchaser’s evaluation of a Tender will be on the basis of Tender Price as specified

in the Price Schedule.

The Purchaser reserves the right to accept or reject any variation, deviation, or

alternative offer. Variations, deviations, and alternative offers and other factors which

are in excess of the requirements of the Tender documents or otherwise result in

unsolicited benefits for the Purchaser will not be taken into account in Tender

evaluation.

Page 12: INVITATION TO TENDERInvitation to Tender. 2.3 Amendment of Tender Documents At any time prior to the deadline for submission of tenders, the Purchaser, for any reason, whether at its

SECTION II – INSTRUCTIONS TO TENDERERS

10

The Purchaser’s evaluation of a Tender may take into account, in addition to the Tender

Price quoted, one or more of the following factors.

Delivery schedule offered in the Tender; [1 1/2 months]

The cost of components, mandatory spare parts, and service; [if back up service

is provided]

Contractual and Commercial Deviations: N/A

Other specific criteria indicated in the Technical Specifications.

6. Award of Contract

6.1 Post Qualification Requirements

In the absence of prequalification, the Purchaser will determine to its satisfaction

whether the Tenderer selected as having submitted the lowest evaluated responsive

Tender is qualified to satisfactorily perform the Contract.

The determination will take into account the Tenderer’s financial, technical and

production capabilities and resources. It will be based upon an examination of the

documentary evidence of the Tenderer’s qualifications submitted by the Tenderer, as

well as such other information as the Purchaser deems necessary and appropriate.

An affirmative determination will be a prerequisite for award of the Contract to the

Tenderer. A negative determination will result in rejection of the Tenderer’s Tender, in

which event the Purchaser will proceed to the next lowest evaluated Tender to make a

similar determination of that Tenderer’s capabilities to perform satisfactorily.

6.2 Award Criteria

Subject to Clause 6.1, the Purchaser will award the Contract to the successful Tenderer

whose Tender has been determined to be substantially responsive and has been

determined as the lowest-evaluated Tender, provided further that the Tenderer is

determined to be qualified to perform the Contract satisfactorily.

6.3 Purchaser’s Right to Vary at Time of Award

The Purchaser reserves the right at the time of award of Contract to increase or

decrease by the percentage as specified in the Special Conditions, the quantity of goods

and services originally specified in the Schedule of Requirements without any change

in unit prices or other terms and conditions.

6.4 Purchaser’s Right to Accept Any Tender and to Reject Any or All

Tenders

The Purchaser reserves the right to accept or reject any Tender, and to annul the Tender

process and reject all Tenders, at any time prior to award of Contract, without thereby

incurring any liability to the affected Tenderer or Tenderers or any obligation to inform

the affected Tenderer or Tenderers of the grounds for the Purchaser’s action.

6.5 Notification of Award

The Tenderer whose Tender has been accepted will be notified of the award by the Purchaser prior

to expiration of the Tender validity period by facsimile confirmed by a letter that its Tender has

been accepted.
